Albert, The color looks okay to me. The problem I see is there is a lot more nebulosity there, but between the short exposures and city sky glow it probably gets lost. Overall not bad for being imaged through pea soup.

This is 4.5 hours on M45, all 60 second exposures. I thought the luminance data was pretty decent, but I didn’t like the color. I guess the sky gradient killed it. Anyway here’s a link to the image.
